Pressure Point Self Defense

So, what is Pressure Point Self Defense and why do you need to be studying and applying it to your martial arts system? Back in the old days of martial art training in the West the old master often referred to pressure points as “nerve strikes.” This is an excellent term, but there is much more to it than this!

What exactly is a pressure point? This is a place on the body when an nerve terminates or comes to an end.

Where nerves cross in the body, or where a nerve nerve will branch out into a “Y” shape. The actually pressure point itself is the size of a pin head, but the area of activation is the size of a Looney.

Now picture 361 of these pressure points covering the human body! Not all of them are useful, but a large number of them are extremely effective in self defense.

Now why do I refer to Kyusho Jitsu, the art and science of pressure point self defense as a science? The reason is we TEST reactions and responses on real people to find predictable results that can be replicated. The things that we teach, when learned and practiced with intention, will yield a 90% plus result from attacker to attacker.

There are many who say that Kyusho Jitsu is not a science, so for those who think this, lets go back to the dictionary!
